RUST DEAD ------------------------ Albert H. Rust, one of the pioneer residents of Richland Township, died at his home southwest of Sheffield last Saturday morning. Mr. Rust had not been in the best of health for some time past, but his condition was not considered serious until ten days or two weeks before death came to him. Mr. Rust was born November 16, 1854 in Germany. When eleven years of age he came with his parents to the United States. The family first located in Stephenson county, Illinois, where he grew to manhood and in December 1882, was married to Miss Christena Lubbers. In January 1883 they came to Franklin county and located in Richland township on a slightly improved farm of 160 acres where they resided until 1900 when they moved to another farm in the same township, which Mr. Rust owned. Mrs. Rust died in December 1922 and those that survive him in the immediate family are six sons; Heike A. Rust, state representative from Franklin county; Henry L. Rust, until recently pastor of the the Baptist church at Northwood; A.G. Rust and J.W. Rust, farmers near Sheffield; Orville W. Rust, athletic director of the Webster City schools, and Arthur E. Rust, freshman coach of Des Moines University, Highland Park; and one daughter, Miss Altye Rust, who lives at home. Mr. Rust was one of the most active, as well as one of the most substantial men of his community. He always took an active interest in public and community affairs and in every enterprise which meant developement in a business or social way for his home community and county. During his long residence Mr. Rust gained a wide acquaintance and his clean charachter and high type of service which he rendered to the public and to his friends in many ways will long be remembered by those who knew him best. Funeral services were held from the Methodist Church at Sheffield last Tuesday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.V. Wright, and burial was made in the Hampton Cemetery beside his wife. ***** From THE HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY (Iowa) - Published 1914 Albert Heike Rust - (A. H. Rust) A. H. Rust, who has lived in Franklin county for the past three decades, now resides on sections 13 and 24, Richland township, and owns one of the best equipped farms within the borders of the county. He devotes his attention to general agricultural pursuits, and his holdings embrace five hundred and seventy acres of productive land in Ross and Richland townships. His birth occurred in Germany on the 16th of November, 1854, his parents being H. A. and Aaltye (Lolling) Rust, of whom more extended mention is made on another page of this work in connection with the sketch of H. A. Rust, Jr., brother of our subject. A. H. Rust was eleven years of age when he came to the United States with his parents, the family home being established in Stephenson county, Illinois. His education was largely acquired in the schools of his native land. At the early age of twelve he began working by the month as a farm hand and his father received his earnings until he had attained his majority. In December, 1882, he was married, and January 1, 1883, he came to Franklin county, Iowa, having a few months before purchased a slightly improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres in Richland township. The further development and cultivation of that property claimed his time and energies for a number of years, and there he carried on farming until 1900, when he purchased his present place in Richland township, which at that time had but few improvements. He has replaced the old structures by modern and substantial buildings, and the farm is now one of the best equipped and most attractive in the county, boasting a commodious residence and barns and also an evergreen grove. His holdings comprise five hundred and seventy acres of land in Ross and Richland township and in the conduct of his agricultural interests he has won a gratifying and richly merited measure of prosperity. On the 12th of December, 1882, in Illinois, Mr. Rust was united in marriage to Miss Christena Lubbers, a native of Germany, by whom he has seven children: Heike A.; Henry L.; Albert G.; Joseph; Altye M.; and Orville and Arthur, twins. All are still under the parental roof. In politics Mr. Rust is a stanch republican. He has done valuable service for the cause of education as a school director, was formerly president of the board and now acts as secretary of the Richland township school board. He and his wife and children are devoted and consistent members of the Baptist church at Sheffield. One son, Henry L., is an ordained minister of the Baptist church and has served as pastor at Rockwell, Iowa, for the past five years. He is attending college at Des Moines. Mr. Rust is widely known here, and his substantial qualities of manhood and of character have gained for him an enviable position in the regard of those with whom he has come in contact. ------------------------- Transcribed by: Find A Grave contributor Dave Halm
